Hey TomE, thanks for some help. I think that might be above my skill level, not sure. I have a soldering station, but no hot air rework station. I do have a heat gun though! I have also never stripped a board naked before. But I did get some 70N02 in the other day though!
Is there anything I can do to the stock driver instead, before going the full driver rework method you suggest? I would prefer that method, if possible! Is that a PLCC2 LED on the stock board, and can I swap it to blue if I wanted?
As for buying retail, I have not seen them anywhere. Hopefully sellers will start carrying them, since they are all built very solid. They also all feel very good in my hand! This is my first time getting a 26650 light, and in my hand they feel great. I always thought 26650 flashlights would be to big for my liking, guess I was wrong. Getting 4 of them is way too much for me. Might just do a random giveaway on 1 or 2 of them, but I need to see which one's I like the most first.
edit Add: The driver board I posted came from the MX-900, wondering if thats why the driver you have posted looks a little different.
